in one Some people go over their rugs with a vacuum cleaner. Next they use a broom for clinging litter. And they feel they must have their rug beaten every so often. Other people “Just run The Hoover over.” Their rugs are always “clean to the roots.” The nap is kept upstanding. Colorings always look bright. The rugs wear years longer. Certainly it is better to combine three cleaning operations in one as only The Hoover does, which is one secret of its largest sale. THE HOOVER IT BEATS—AS IT SWEEPS—AS IT CLEANS We will gladly demonstrate The Hoover on your rugs without obligation. @d. '•w" js es jfcro>*rjs "V
